Chicago Fire season 13: Release date, cast, plot and everything we know so far
Chicago Fire season 13 is all set to premiere this September. The series has been a cornerstone of the One Chicago franchise since it first debuted in 2012. Chicago Fire season 13 follows the firefighters, paramedics, and rescue personnel of Firehouse 51 in Chicago and has captured audiences with its intense action sequences and deep character development.
Over time, the show has evolved beyond a procedural drama, delving into its characters’ personal lives and hardships. With the announcement of Chicago Fire season 13, viewers can’t wait to see what happens to their favorite first responders.
Chicago Fire season 13 will premiere on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at 9 PM ET on NBC. The episodes will be available to stream on Peacock the very next day.
Exploring details on Chicago Fire season 13’s release date and cast
The much-anticipated Chicago Fire season 13 will premiere on September 25, 2024, as part of NBC’s One Chicago Wednesdays along with the other programs in the franchise.
The show remains slated on its Thursday primetime 9 p.m. ET schedule, where it has been the mainstay over the past seasons. It has proven to be a promising schedule for the series and since then, it has been able to sustain its fans through the years.
As with any long-running series, the cast of Chicago Fire has seen its share of changes, and Season 13 is no exception. Most of the members are likely to return.
Kinney once again plays the role of Kelly Severide, one of the central characters in the story since the first episode. Severide returned in the 12th season and is likely to be one of the important characters of season 13.
One of the most significant changes in Chicago Fire season 13 is about the character of Chief Dom Pascal, played by Dermot Mulroney. Among the changes to expect with Mulroney’s character is a different leadership style at Firehouse 51, as the exodus of long-serving District Chief Wallace Boden, played by Emmann Walker, leaves this space.
Other key returning actors in Chicago Fire season 13 include Miranda Rae Mayo in the role of Lt. Stella Kidd, David Eigenberg in the role of Lt. Christopher Herrmann, Joe Minoso in the role of Joe Cruz, Daniel Kyri in the role of Darren Ritter, and Hanako Greensmith in the role of Violet Mikami.
Plot details on season 13
The plot of Season 13 will largely be shaped by the events of last season, particularly the retirement of Chief Boden and the introduction of Chief Pascal. Chief Boden’s exit spells a new chapter for Firehouse 51, and the order to promote Christopher Herrmann as the new fire chief is going to cause tension.
